Here we are welcoming yet another weekend.  Although I don't necessarily want these beautiful summer days to fly by, each day that does puts me closer and closer to my vacation, which begins next weekend.

It's the one week of the year I live for.

Son returns home from Boys State this weekend, and Daughter and I will be very glad to see him.  She's been a little bored, and I've been..I don't know what.  Melancholy is one word.  Pensive is another.

Daughter and I did take advantage of this disruption to our crazy life routine to spend some quality time together.  Wednesday night we had dinner at the local Mexican restaurant and watched her favorite movie, Silver Linings Playbook, which is fast becoming one of my favorites.  Last night we drove to Kilmarnock on a whim and had some Thai food.  Eating out twice in one week is unheard of for us.  But we needed something to distract us.

Except for the rainbow pictures, I've not taken any new/recent shots, so I dove into the archives and found these.

I hope your weekend is as peaceful and relaxing as these views from my back doorstep.

Hanging Out

The Chesapeake Bay Family survived two days in the big city of Richmond.  Son had many stories to tell about his adventures in New York.  We spent quality time together laughing, eating, shopping, eating and laughing. Much of that laughter was shared with Baby Sis, who joined us for dinner both nights.

This weekend everyone's off in different directions once again.

I'll be here in Mathews longing for the fish rolls we had at Peter Chang's while trying to cram in yard work, half-marathon training, indoor decluttering and sleeping grass mowing, provided I can get the flat tire on my John Deere fixed.

I hope your weekend is filled with crispy fish rolls with cilantro whatever makes you happy.
